Profile:
A fast-medium bowler of great stamina, Arthur Fielder led the
Kent attack in the period prior to World War 1. His best year was
maybe 1906, when he took all 10 for the Players against the
Gentlemen at Lord's, and Kent won the championship, in large part
due to his bowling. He toured Australia that winter and bowled
superbly, as well as helping SF Barnes put on 38 runs for the
last wicket to win the Melbourne Test. In another famous last
wicket partnership, he scored a century with Frank Woolley at the
other end, and set a first-class record of 235, that stood for
years (and remains an English record). He was, however, not a
strong batsman. As a bowler, he was genuinely fast, bowling with
a high action. He relied on late away swing for most of his
wickets, with many falling to catches behind the wicket and
slips, but could bring the ball back off the wicket. All his Tests
were played in Australia (Dave Liverman, 1998).
